Spit in One Hand

Wednesday, April 16, 2014

Several people were kind enough to notify me that Booster Gold appears in DC's latest teaser image for Futures End. That is Booster Gold, isn't it?

DC's teasers are designed to keep us excited and talking about their comics. They tend to be more metaphorical allusions than actual promises of published content. Therefore, we probably shouldn't spend too much time discussing what we think of the new costume (Booster's 3rd in the New 52) or what Booster could be doing with Tim Drake as a sidekick. Neither should we debate whether that is Smallville's Booster Gold or whether Booster will have anything to do with Futures End's emphasis on Earth-2 or the DC Multiverse.

However, if you enjoy entertaining such intellectual exercises, be my guest. You'll find the conversation has already started in the Boosterrific Forum (with a link to the original teaser image).

UPDATE 2014-04-16: As you can see from the link to BleedingCool.com that Shawn left in the comments below, it is starting to look like Booster will have a spin-off title related to Futures End. Will it be more relevant to the Futures End story than his Flashpoint adventure? Who cares so long as Booster gets his own title again!

 X-Factoring in Booster Gold

Tuesday, April 15, 2014

The X-Men are no strangers to time travel. It's about time that Booster Gold called them out for their transgressions.

Ross Pearsall's Super-Team Family is the only comic around featuring Booster Gold on its covers. You'll find I've showcased plenty of his previous Booster Gold team-ups, but his site at Super-Team Family ...The Lost Issues continues to stock new and unique covers daily.

Spotted on Tumblr.com:

This Booster Gold sketch by Cully Hamner comes to us by way of The Jack Lazer Art Gallery, where you'll find all kinds of sketch art collected by Brian Keohan, including a sweet Ted Kord Blue Beetle (if you're into that sort of thing).

 A Familiar Looking Future

Thursday, April 10, 2014

While DC would never let Booster do it, I think Booster would gladly appear in a photo shoot for High Times so long as their check cleared. The only bad press is no press!

Last week's poll question: Would Booster Gold endorse legalizing marijuana? (48 votes)

I know you've seen the spoilers for Futures End #0 by now. What do you think?
